Adrian Peterson toasts with Blue Bell ice cream in hospital bed

Being hospitalized for knee surgery did not keep injured NFL star Adrian Peterson from celebrating the New Year Saturday night.

“My time bringing in the New Year was great! Thanks to family & a lil Blue Bell country ice cream,” he tweeted.

Minnesota Vikings running back and Texas native posted a picture of himself cracking into a pint of Blue Bell and decked out in party gear in a hospital bed, following surgery to repair a torn ACL and MCL.
